Alliance is just whoring SEGA’s name. The idea is to get games ALREADY made and use the sega muscle to get them noticed then split profits.
Kamiya can’t even pronounce sega’s name in his twitter feed. He’s THAT pissed off with sega for cancelling bayo 2.

Also i’d like to say that it’s really sad that Kamiya is more enthousiastic on making a viewtful joe gameinstead of a Bayonetta 2. We got 2 really amazing games from him but it does feel his enthousiasm with SEGA has been lost. I feel the whole of Platinum games may just forget about it after Anarchy Reigns. A shame

I wanna end saying that it’s much better to keep it short and sweet ^^.

I echo your sentiments about how boring games have been lately… 2012’s been that one strange year where very few titles that have come out actually matter. Usually we start to feel the Summer drought, but this year, ever since Mass Effect 3 came out in March, the drought is still going strong. Not just SEGA, everybody is pretty coy about game releases this year.

You should check out Max Payne 3 or The Last Story. There’s no drought going on, really, actually, between Xenoblade, Rhythm Thief, Sleeping Dogs, Sonic 4 Episode 2, Darksiders II….this has actually been one of the busier summers for gaming. That I can remember, anyway.
